The present invention relates to an improvement in the back coat layer of a magnetic recording medium such as a video tape, which is formed by providing a back coat layer on the back surface of a base having a magnetic layer on its main surface. For magnetic tapes used in reel-to-reel VTRs, a back coat layer containing a filler containing carbon black dispersed in a binder is provided on the back side of a base that has a magnetic layer on its main surface. This prevents the tape from being statically charged and from winding irregularly, and also improves the abrasion resistance of the back surface of the tape (prevents scratching of the back surface). However, in order to obtain good conductivity, conventional carbon black was selected to have as fine particles as possible and a material with a very large specific surface area, resulting in poor wear resistance of the back coat layer and poor sliding contact with VTR guides, etc. When the tape is wound, the back coat layer is easily scratched, and when the tape is wound, the coating film is transferred to the opposing magnetic layer, which may adversely affect the video characteristics. As a result of intensive studies from the above perspective, the inventors found that carbon black with a specific particle size distribution provides good results not only in preventing static electricity and preventing irregular winding, but also in terms of abrasion resistance of the back coat layer. This knowledge led me to complete this invention. That is, in this invention, particles having a particle diameter of 10 to 35 mμ are formed on the back surface of a base having a magnetic layer on the main surface.
The present invention relates to a magnetic recording medium characterized in that it is provided with a back coat layer containing a filler containing carbon black, which is 90% by weight and 70% to 10% by weight having a particle size of 40 to 150 μm. As mentioned above, the carbon black used in this invention mainly has a very small particle size in the range of 10 to 35 mμ, and in addition, carbon black with a larger particle size than the above, that is, a particle size of The particle size distribution is 10 to 70% by weight of the total particle size in the range of 40 to 150 mμ, and by having such a particle size distribution, it is possible to prevent static electricity and prevent winding disorder, as well as improve the durability of the back coat layer. The wear resistance is greatly improved. Here, the proportion of particles with the above-mentioned large diameter is 10% by weight.
If it is less than that, the effect of improving wear resistance is not sufficient;
If it exceeds 70% by weight, the coating film properties may be impaired and the video properties may be adversely affected. A commercially available carbon black that satisfies the particle size distribution of the present invention is Conductex, manufactured by Columbia Carbon Japan Co., Ltd.
Examples include carbon blacks such as 975, -900, and -950, but carbon blacks satisfying these particle size distributions may be used in combination. In this invention, other fillers may be used in combination with the above-mentioned carbon black, if necessary. Suitable other fillers include barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and zinc oxide, which generally have an average particle size of 0.05 to 2 μm, and titanium oxide and the like having particle sizes similar to those described above are also suitable. When these other fillers are used in combination, wear resistance is further improved, and relatively soft fillers such as barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and zinc oxide may cause problems such as VTR guides due to the abrasiveness of the back coat layer. Damage to sliding contact parts can be suppressed. The total amount of carbon black and the other fillers listed above should be approximately 30 to 80% by weight of the total amount of the binder. In other words, in the total amount of the filler, the amount is 90% by weight or less, preferably 40 to 80% by weight. In the present invention, there are no particular restrictions on the binder used to bind carbon black and other fillers, and any binder with excellent adhesion to the base, abrasion resistance, etc. can be used. for example,
Examples include cellulose resin, polyurethane resin, polyester resin, polyisocyanate, and vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin. The back coat layer in this invention is formed by applying a coating material containing the above binder mixed and dispersed with a filler containing carbon black to a thickness of usually 0.5 to 5 μm on the back surface of a base on which a magnetic layer has been previously formed on the main surface. However, this layer may contain various additives such as a suitable lubricant as necessary. The lubricant reduces the coefficient of friction of the back coat layer, improves its durability, and also provides good results in preventing the filler from falling off. Any material that is solid (semi-solid) or liquid at room temperature can be used as long as it is soluble in organic solvents. Specific examples include fatty acids, fatty acid esters, liquid paraffin, and the like. The amount added is preferably 5 parts by weight or less (usually 0.01 to 5 parts by weight) based on 100 parts by weight of the total filler. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a magnetic recording medium that not only prevents charging and winding irregularities, but also has a back coat layer that has excellent abrasion resistance. Next, embodiments of this invention will be described. In the following, parts shall mean parts by weight.
